This is my first ever 2 star review, and please consider it constructive criticism. So full disclosure, I ate at the bogus ghost location in Fort Myers that you can’t even review because it’s in another Restaurant called Pelican Larry’s. I found it on Apple Maps as I was driving through and was very confused when I drove up. I had to clarify I was in the right spot. Then the girl who took my order didn’t write anything down and lo and behold got my order wrong. I’ll give her credit for correcting it with no issue. I ordered brisket and pork with beans, Mac n cheese, and Cole slaw for sides. I subbed garlic toast for the corn bread. She was hesitant to sub them at first, but when I pointed out they were the same price, she agreed. The mistake was they sent ribs instead of the pork, but as noted she brought the pork. The beans were 5 star, the best part of the meal. The brisket was 3 stars, everything else was 2 stars outside of the mac n cheese that was barely 1 star. The meats presented well, but tasted dry and old to me. Looking back at the pictures, they do look dry and iridescent. The pork was greasy and in some kind of sloppy sauce. The Cole slaw had some flavor and the Mac n cheese had no flavor. Yes, I said that correct in there was no flavor. Oh, and the bread was very greasy. I burped up the greasy meat taste for the whole hour drive to my hotel. Still burping. It’s sad to think this is what some people know as proper BBQ. I’m sure you have good intentions, but for the sake of your name and reputation, you might need to reconsider that location. Your normal location might be much better, but just be glad I gave you 2 stars.

Only one server covering the shift. She did phenomenal juggling all the tables by herself. The ribs were a bit dry, but still very tasty. Lots of BBQ options but tasted the best without any sauce on it. Baked beans were a runny and had a too much liquid. But taste wise, was very good. The fries were good, and fresh out of the fryer (fries not in the picture because they came out separate). I liked the atmosphere and decor inside. Outdoor seating was available.

My experience at Off the Bone BBQ was generally positive, earning a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The restaurant delivered on many fronts, offering a pleasant atmosphere and overall good food. We opted for the ribs, and while the flavor was commendable, there was a slight hiccup with the texture. The ribs were a tad dry, and the deep outside charring, although providing a smoky flavor, contributed to the dryness.
Despite this minor setback, the meal was decent. The sides, including the coleslaw and baked beans, were flavorful and complemented the main course well. The variety on the menu showcased a commitment to traditional BBQ fare, and the generous portions ensured we left with satisfied appetites.
The staff at Off the Bone BBQ deserves praise for their friendly and efficient service. They were attentive without being intrusive, adding to the overall positive dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, creating a relaxed setting that enhanced our meal.
Off the Bone BBQ, with its strengths in flavor and atmosphere, is a solid choice for those craving classic barbecue dishes. While the dryness of the ribs was a minor drawback, the overall dining experience was enjoyable, making it a restaurant worth considering for anyone seeking a satisfying BBQ meal.

The food was old & not hot at all. I should have known how fast it had come out after the order. My pregnant wife craving BBQ. I had to hear about this horrible choice of mine the entire grocery shopping trip, and incontinence on the ride home. The price point didn’t match its quality. Don’t know if I’ll return to treat someone. I’ll be embarrassed with anyone. The Brisket and beans were good.

First time here and walked in and greeted right away. Was not too busy and the service was 5 stars. Got served right away and very large plat of food. My daughter got chicken and fries and the fries were unique and the chicken was excellent with a large amount to eat. We got the brisket with bbq beans and Mac n cheese. The whole meal was top notch and the service outstanding. I have another favorite place to go.

It was ok but not what I was hoping for. Portions seemed small compared to other restaurants that sell the same items in this city. My brisket wasnt as warm as I liked. A little on the cold side. No i didn’t send it back. Overall the fam enjoyed their food.

Awful experience! Not only was left on hold to place a pick up order for over 10 minutes on the phone. But, also had to call back to even get the worker’s attention, whom forgot me on hold. Just ridiculous. When we do arrive to pick up the $70
“family meal” it comes out looking like this atrocity! Missing the gravy, I asked for twice. No actual onion roll, just two stale hamburger buns. But the icing on the cake, the restaurant only has two families dining in. If your establishment is not even busy and provides this kind of awful customer service and food then I have zero faith in them.

I hate to give reviews like this but was not impressed. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and the buns were cold like if they had just been pulled out of the plastic bag. My husband ordered a full rack of ribs and it was more like a half a rack and sadly the ribs were over cooked and barely had any meat on them, meat was hard. Wish I would have taken a picture of the ribs but I was so disappointed that I didn’t even think about it. Even though the food was not good the service was actually very good. Our waitress was very kind and
attentive. The reason I give 4 stars was for the service.

We ordered the smoke it all platter and jalapeño sausage with cornbread. The sausage and brisket were ok. Didn’t really care too much for other items. Food wasn’t super hot. Not a whole lot of places for really good BBQ in Naples especially coming from Texas. Pricing wasn’t terrible for amount of food for two of us. Servers were all nice.
